I can’t believe it has been nearly a month since I have updated this site. Yes, life is crazy, but I still need to find time to get it together.

It must be the low pressure system in the air (it actually misted and rained in some places today) that is making my moods uncontrollable. That and stress. This past weekend it seemed like everything I said to Joe I had to “clarify” what I said and then apologize. Lesson learned: keep my mouth shut when I am stressed.

So what is the cause of this stress? Work!!!!! Don’t get me wrong, I love my job. I have never been so challenged in a job as I am now. I have so much responsibility and feel that my executives respect me and listen to my opinions. BUT, with responsibility comes an attitude of “you are in charge so the buck stops with you.” I can’t believe that when I was in college I actually joked with my friends on how I would avoid the “R” word (responsibility). I said that is why I would never have kids. Why I would stay single for a while. Why I would travel and live a great life.

So is responsibility a bad thing? No, it just needs to be managed properly…and combined with a day at the spa.
